Sucked the oil out of the catch can today and got a decent amount. This is after 4200 miles. Figured I needed to drain it finally being that I have a track day coming up. Put the sucker and bottle with my oil change supplies to remind me to do it with my changes from now on.

Also installed my Auto-Blip. Pain in the ass dealing with those small wires under the dash but it's done. Crappy weather today but hopefully I can test it out tomorrow.

Damn! Forgot about clearing the Brembos. No, it will not work on PP1 or PP2 cars.
Google “Mustang spare automotive authority” and you will see the best solution for a Brembo brake spare tire I’ve seen yet. I just bought one and I’m really happy with it. Although it’s pricey with shipping.

Well I bought out my lease on Saturday so now “Miss Maggie” is now really mine- and a bit of the banks lol. Got a great deal, low interest rate and an extended warranty for much less than I thought.

It would work only on the rears, so need 2 jacks or a jack stand to put a rear on the front, then the spare on thr rear if one of the fronts was flat. Basically a PIA situation.
I'm thinking more for skinnies for the front for strip setup than a spare.

I'm looking for a set. How much are those? Can you order just the wheels?

It’s a specialty design wheel and tire that is almost identical diameter as the factory tire (so no harm to the limited slip or torsen diff) yet much narrower than the factory wheels so it will fit in the trunk wheel well without raising the trunk floor.

They sell the wheel and tire for $399 and the complete package with jack and lug wrench for about $79 more. Don’t know if they would just sell the wheel though. The tough part is the shipping cost of approx $90.

I've got it and haven't bothered to install as i haven't noticed much issue really. But then again i've never found i've been able to get seating the pony 100%.

Is it really THAT good?
Yes, it is ... I am 5'6", my son is almost 6 foot and he said it made a significant difference in adjusting the seating and steering wheel. give it a try.. you will not be disappointed...

Sprayed down with soap/water and dried. Nice and easy thanks to the ceramic.

Do it man, it's worth it. Lasts so much longer and looks better than wax the whole time. Makes cleaning it super easy too. The second picture was actually taken a week after washing it, albeit sitting in the driveway and not driven, but still.

I second that motion....lots of compliments on how shiny my car is especially in the sun. But the time savings in washing/waxing are substantial. Just make sure you go to a reputable establishment that is certified and does a proper paint correction beforehand.

Installed a Blueskysea B1W Wifi Mini Dash Cam. Seems to work pretty good for $55.
I have it plugged into to the Ciggy lighter but I think I'm gonna hardwire it to fuse #36 later this week.

I have it right above the mirror for now. Seems like a good spot.

Admitted to myself it is gone...

Sad ending to an otherwise fun couple of years.

Ford "got me" with the styling but drove me away with the quality.
